Borderline

Borderline aims to reflect the complexity of globalisation and the rapid expansion to our communications networks. Our need for more visual stimulus and information is becoming almost unquenchable. The search for the unique visual plain has become the virtual addiction of the 21st Century.

— Robert West

Overview

The Borderline Series is the collision, blurring and juxtaposing of West's diverse catalogue of painting techniques including the drag technique famed by Richter, consequently these combine to create a complex multi-layered wandering visual plain saturated with stacked colour, unique lines and unpredictable forms. West's Borderline Series is in its infancy, and is currently in development.
